Greetings,

In June of this year a new Union Artillery Battery was formed in AZ with the approval and support of active participating artillery units based in AZ and Southern California.

The 1st Maryland Light Artillery, Battery A, U.S. was formed and is based out of Gilbert, AZ. That’s approximately 25 miles southeast of Phoenix.

The 1st MD has a 12 Pdr Mountain Howitzer (prairie carriage) with a prairie limber w/ ammo chest. The unit also has a full scale 12 Pdr Coehorn Mortar (4.62” Bore) that we use in “Live Fire” competitions and reenactments.

The 1st MD is looking for new members who want to belong and participate to an active Union artillery unit.
